Forty six parents will hear that their child has cancer today. I was one of those parents on July 12, 2010. I want to help find a cure, so when a parent does hear, "It's cancer." They will also hear, "But there is a cure."

Seven parents will watch their child take his/her last breath today. I am lucky I wasn't one of those parents. I don't want another parent to have to watch their child die because of a blood cancer! We need to find a cure!

I'm training to participate in the Nike Women's Marathon as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
